%O All but one of the essays in this volume originated as papers given for a special unit on "Ritual innovation in the Hebrew Bible and early Judaism" at the Society of Biblical Literature international meeting held in St Andrews in July 2013 - (Preface)
%X "What are rituals, if not ancient practices, unchanged throughout generations? Yet, if we compare the rituals described in late Second Temple texts to those in the Hebrew Bible it is apparent that rituals do change. Were such rituals practiced, or were they forms of textual imagination? How do rituals change and how are such changes authorized? Do textual innovation and ritual innovation relate?"--
